The oldest Swedish nyckelharpa that is preserved is the "Moraharpa", dated 1526. This is my own 1998 copy. In the same way as with the Blekingelira it was important for me to build an instrument that could be played together with other musicians and existing tunes. Because of this, the key positions are re-calculated with some additional keys. The Moraharpa is supplied with one melody string and two bordoune strings. |
